Day 5- Annette

Hi all! Well, I am sorry you guys haven't been feeling very good. Hopefully the headaches will go away soon, Sun. Did you call the nutritionist? What did she say? I have actually been feeling pretty good. No headaches or anything to speak of. Although... I am peeing like a race horse... I don't know exactly what that expression means but I am assuming it means you pee ALOT! And I am.... Like every 20 minutes it seems like. UGH! I have, so far, been able to stick to it perfectly. I haven't even licked my fingers once while cooking. Although, I haven't cooked much. I went and bought super easy dinners for the kids that I wouldn't be tempted to sneak bites. I am making Pumpkin Crunch for this old ladies luncheon thing tomorrow, I love it, and hope I don't eat any. Its going to be hard though. I can smell it right now and its making my mouth water.

I am so far down 8 pounds from Friday, so I am way excited about that. I haven't noticed not feeling hungry though. I'm not hungry all the time, but I'm not not hungry either.... Hopefully it will kick in soon. I was going to pee in a cup tomorrow and see how the whole ketosis thing is going. Has anyone done that yet? Hey, Stace- you said you found a doctor here doing it... Do you have any idea how much he charges for a month. Someone told Sun we paid way too much!

Keep it up!

Stacey's -Day 5

Can anyone say OUCH!!!! I've had a Huge Headache for the last 3 days. It almost debilitating it hurts so bad. I'm ready for this detoxing period to be done and move on.

My HCG was also up'd. So I am doing 200 now. Up in Seattle my weight was 228.6lbs. and this morning it was 221.6lbs. It would be awesome to break through 220lbs by our one week mark. I plan to do the keto strip tomorrow morning and check out those results.

I'm sorry you haven't had better results yet Sonja, Hang in there I'm sure they'll come. How's your friend doing?

I forgot to mention that I found out an old doctor of mine does HCG stuff here in town. His name is Dr. Madsen. He lives and works in Seattle but come down here once a month to see his patients.

Stacey's- Day 4

Today went okay, but I can totally relate with Sonya. I need CHOCOLATE!!! I don't know if I totally blew it, but today instead of my protein shake I had a Zone protein bar. Chocolate Carmel Cluster. YUM! I took the kids to the movies today and wouldn't be home to mix up a shake so I decided to bring a protein bar to the movies with me. It really helped to stay away from the popcorn and it feels like you're eating a candy bar. I think I may substitute like that when I just need something sweet.

Sonja's- Day 4

thanks for the blog annette, you rock......Today is my official first day of the eating,I totally broke down last night and had chocolate, I was a little worried about that, since I llllooovvveee sugary things. so I put a plan in place today, which consists of more tea with LOTS of stevia, and gum with xyletol. Hopefully that works for my sweet tooth...... I was down a half pound this morning, but I definately know why. hope everyone has a full and satifying day.....lol

Annette's-Day 4!

Ok, so we are on day 4! I was up 5 pounds from our 2 "free" days, but today when I got on the scale I was down 5, from weighing in on Friday. So I am pretty excited about that. I didn't cheat once yesterday. I got my chicken today, cut it all up and measured it out. Hopefully its legal. I just need to have some easy things or I wont be able to stick with it. How is everyone else doing/feeling? Good I hope. What I am really liking about this is that you get up, do the shot once, and then you are done for the day. You don't have to take pills all day or anything I mean. It feels pretty simple to me. I am hoping I can stick with the whole eating plan though. Anyway, just wanted to get the blog up and going. Hopefully it works for everyone. I think we should post some before pictures. (maybe along the side or something) and then update them every month or something. Let me know what you'd like to do on the blog. Its all of ours so feel free to add, change, move.... whatever you want to do to it. Keep up the good work!

Stacey's- Day 3

I followed the diet exactly today. I went out and bought organic meats, fruits and vegetables. Everything went okay until I was dishing up my family's dinner tonight. I wanted to make something easy because I'm still not feeling well so I threw some country style ribs and BBQ sauce in a crockpot. By dinner you can imagine how my house smelt. WAY GOOD! It was tempting but I didn't waiver. I'm finding out that me not wanting to eat yesterday was more about being sick and less about the shots. Dang it! I thought this might be easy.

Stacey's- Day 2

I don't want to eat anything!!! And I mean anything!!! Not craving anything, not thinking about food at all. Problem with that is this is my "loading day" and I am suppose to be eating as much as I want of high fat and sugary foods. I'm suppose to be loading it up.

I have a really bad cold right now so I'm not sure if the shot is working really good or if I'm just so sick I'd rather be in bed sleeping right now. My nose is so congested I doubt I could even taste the food I put in my mouth. What's the fun of that?

This morning at 11:00 I still hadn't eaten anything for the day. So before my kids soccer game I ran over and got an Egg McMuffin from McDonald's. Didn't want it, but ate it anyway. Nothing for lunch then it was off to work at Southridge's Homecoming from 4:30 to midnight. They bought everyone subway but I just wasn't hungry so I took one bite and threw the rest away.

So much for a loading day! I feel like I'm going to regret that later. I didn't eat any of my favorite things. Pizza, Nachos, chocolate chip cookies, Jajeki, etc. Bummer!

Stacey's- Day 1

Just wanted to say thanks for getting a fat friends invite to Seattle. I am excited to get started on this program. A diets a diet but it's always nice to change things up. Funniest part of the trip was shooting up together in the car : ) that was a crack up. Saddest part of the trip was only 2hrs spent at the outlet mall : ( Sorry guys.
